Many thanks!

Hello,

Not Sydenham (for which apologies), but I was wondering if someone might point me in the right direction. Bromley council are planning to replace some (but not all) of the Victorian street lights on my road with rather unsightly LED lights. I would like to at least try and prevent this, due ...
